Sandy

Hi, I’m Sandy… but my friends call me Pants!<br/><br/>Yes, Pants. It started as “Sandy Pants,” then somehow turned into Pants, Pantalope, Pantasaurus—you know how nicknames go when you’ve been loved in a foster home for a while. I answer to all of them. <br/><br/>I’m a goofy, silly girl with a big personality and an even bigger love for zoomies. I live for running wild in the yard, going on walks with my foster mom, and occasionally diving into the grass like I’m going for a swim. Giant tennis balls are my absolute favorite—I proudly show off my soccer skills on a regular basis. If there were a professional backyard soccer league, I’d be a star.<br/><br/>I walk beautifully on a leash and harness and can ignore other dogs out and about (as long as they’re polite and don’t bark at me first). I live with other dogs right now and do best with one-on-one playtime. Big group energy can overwhelm me a bit. If I have a dog sibling in my forever home, I’d love one with a calm, even temperament who isn’t too over-the-top. I haven’t met any cats yet, so that’s still a mystery.<br/><br/>I do need a physically fenced yard in my forever home. Sometimes the world can feel a little scary, and having a safe, secure space helps me feel confident. My ideal family will be patient and let me move at my own pace. A consistent routine and a home without lots of commotion—inside or outside—will help me feel safe and settled. Too much unpredictable movement makes me nervous because I can’t always process it all.<br/><br/>I’ve been working hard in training and confidence classes and have made wonderful progress. My foster mom says growth takes time—“a marathon, not a sprint.” I’m not totally sure what that means, but I do know I’m trying my best every day. Because younger kids can be unpredictable, I’d likely do best in a home without small children or with older, respectful kids.<br/><br/>I promise, even with my few quirks, I am the happiest, most loving girl. My personality truly shines when I’m outside playing or soaking up one-on-one cuddle time. I should probably also mention that I recently celebrated my 3rd birthday. I'm an American Pit Bull Terrier mix, and I weigh about 50 pounds—though my short little legs make me look smaller than that.<br/><br/>My foster mom loves me very much, but I’m dreaming of a forever family to call my own. Maybe it’s you? <br/><br/>Sandy is available for adoption through Ma, Paws & Me Pet Rescue based out of Watertown, WI.
